I think others covered it but to elaborate -- if you test positive, you have virus and are likely shedding virus and contagious, even if you are asymptomatic at the time.So. technically you could test positive and NOT be contagious? If so, I fail to understand the importance of being tested.....

I mentioned this when it was reported a while ago but speaking from experience, even something along the lines of the reported 20-30% potential decrease in lung capacity feels far worse than you'd imagine. It is truly awful and feels like you only have 1 lung.COVID-19: Recovered patients have partially reduced lung function
Chinese researchers have found fluid- or debris-filled sacs in the lungs of those who were infected by COVID-19. Scans suggest sustained organ damage.

it's possible to test negative one day and then positive the next. there are people who recovered and tested negative but then tested positive the next day. I assume it's because the tests aren't perfect. that's why typically you need to test negative on consecutive days to be considered cleared, afaik.
lastly -- the benefit of testing, even if it doesn't correlate with your current symptoms or whether you are contagious, is that it lets you know if you've been exposed to the virus and thus that you've been shedding it. this is important to inform your contacts and for limiting the spread of the virus and also for public health officials to track the spread of the virus.
Trump’s Handling of Coronavirus Approved by 60% in Gallup Poll
Trump’s Handling of Coronavirus Approved by 60% in Gallup Poll
Some six in 10 Americans approve of the job Donald Trump is doing to combat the coronavirus crisis, pushing the president’s approval rating – 49% - to the highest of his presidency, according to a poll released Tuesday by Gallup.www.bloomberg.com
But what about Trump’s approval rating improving since the coronavirus crisis began? Indeed, Trump’s approval rating has improved in recent days so that it’s among the highest ratings of his presidency. As I mentioned, his approval rating among voters is now roughly 45 percent, which is up from 43 or 44 percent since early March, while his disapproval rating has fallen from 52 to 53 percent to 51 percent.
However, compared with typical rally-around-the-flag effects that follow national crises, these gains are fairly meager. For instance, Bush’s approval rating improved from 51 percent to 86 percent following the September 11 attacks, and Carter’s approval rating nearly doubled in 1979 in the immediate wake of the Iran hostage crisis. (Granted, both of their ratings declined sharply from there.) But Trump is also not seeing nearly as much of an approval rating bounce as other leaders in Western countries, such as Italy’s Giuseppe Conte, France’s Emmanuel Macron, and the UK’s Boris Johnson. So it’s not clear that a small approval rating gain is a bullish sign for Trump.
